speaker boehner can't get the support of his party. and i want to make it very clear, we did pass, bipartisan, democrat and republican, the budget control act, that would cut $1.5 trillion in both cuts and caps on future spending and discretionary spending is the lowest as the percentage of the economy in 45 years. speaker boehner must understand that a sequester is deadly for the economy. businesses can't make decisions. it would mean furloughs of air traffic controllers, cuts in funding from the nih for breast cancer, for autism, for alzheimer's. it would mean food and safety inspectors would be furloughed. so, this position of speaker boehner doesn't make any sense. we should sit down at the table, pass some more tough decisions. we're adults. we were elected to make tough decisions. and not just walk away and throw your hands up. and i hope that the president of the united states makes this point. we have got to look to the future. we've got to create jobs. growing the economy is the most important challenge for all of us. and if w
